Not saying I'm gonna do this for sure. But it fits easy. 38mm tire. No frame alterations needed.
Lousy fenderline I know.
My bare foot is there for scale!

You have more room at the chainstays than I would have thought. I had to crimp the stays on a Bianchi frame that I converted, Of course I am using 42 mm tires. Your brake reach is just enough, isn't it.
Big orange Nashbar pump: I have one as well and like it a lot.

Just for the hell of trying it. 42s clear. A broken spoke would cause trouble but it ain't bad. And it rides like a real tight Lincoln.
More room than it looks like here. Probably 3 mm aside minimum.

Got any 20" BMX wheels? Now there's a look that would help introduce classic and vintage bikes to Generation Z!
